Digital stamp size and DPI guide
Choose a sensible millimetre size and export resolution for screens, office printing and production work.
Physical size and pixel size are different
Millimetres describe how large the stamp should appear when printed. Pixels describe the raster image itself. DPI connects those two values.
Use a resolution that matches the job
96 DPI is suitable for quick screen previews. 150 DPI covers common office use. 300 DPI is the standard choice for crisp document printing, while 600 DPI is useful for high-detail production.
- 96 DPI for preview
- 150 DPI for email and office documents
- 300 DPI for formal print
- 600 DPI for production artwork
Avoid enlarging a small PNG
Upscaling cannot recreate missing detail. Export again at a larger physical size or higher DPI, or use SVG when you know the artwork will be resized.
